  1. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You quoted my post rather than the one that initiated this discussion. Excuse me for believing it was me you were directing the comment towards. Pretty sure I've never even written a word about my...

  2. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Quite true. I find it odd that you come after me when the previous poster was the one that asked about my credentials. I was merely asking the same question in return. Yes. we can all lie about it -...

  3. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    True. Some, less professional, nurses are attacking others with remarks about number of forum posts and bowing down to those with thousands of

  4. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Again, just because she has been on this site a lot does not grant her any seniority. Especially since we have not seen any of her credentials. Why in the hell is this even a topic? Please let's drop...

  5. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dodging my point. I was asking why it's necessary to divulge more information about my credentials when the person asking has offered zero. But please do retreat to being an observer as I already...

  6. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Listen, in no way is the fact she spends a lot of time on this site relevant to the question at hand. What are her credentials in response to her asking my years of working. This conversation will...

  7. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You ask about my years of experience? I'd only guess as a final act of desperation to assert your seniority in this argument. I don't see any level of education or licensure listed for you. You may...

  8. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well you don't have to explain the point that "it varies," that would seem self-evident. We're both talking about opinions based on our own experiences. I'll grant you that my experiences, in the...

  9. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're passing judgement on a huge group of nurses here and assuming many are are weak and frail and complain too much. You roll your eyes about someone having a headache and assume it's because of...

  10. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly. The poster was commenting on my anecdotal evidence at the same time as offering their own as evidence.

  11. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm agreeable that the term can be put to rest. Only on the basis that it happens with any field and should not be exclusive to nursing. As I don't know of any evidence to support this claim that...

  12. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is the best part of your post. I agree. This is pretty odd. "aches and pains and call out for headaches...don't know what pain is yet" Care to explain what pain young nurses are to...

  13. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll grant you it's subjective, and I know it from experience. And you know this how? I'd guess the same way as me: experience. Quite true; though it does not make it any less true of a...

  14. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    dealwithit replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry. You're apologizing for saying nurses eat their young?? what the hell. You can find it offensive or out of date all you want, but it's true nontheless. Senior nurses regularly feel...

  15. CNA looking to advance advice?

    dealwithit replied to SuprWmn2DaResQ's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Dialysis tech will certainly pay more, as being an EMT will certainly lead you to making less than a CNA. I will advice, though, that CNA experience is the most revered in terms of applying for a...

  16. Nurse license plate

    dealwithit replied to nursesaurus's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I, for one, hope they don't make one. I don't see MD or lawyer or engineer license plates. Nursing plates seem almost ridiculous as hanging a stethoscope from your rear view

  17. What is the difference between MSN NP and DNP

    dealwithit replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Nursing

    A DNP, or Doctorate, is a level of education - not licensure. Someone can be a NP with the education level of masters (MSN) or a doctorate (DNP) there is no difference in the scope of practice, as...

  18. Nursing school isn't as terrifying as I expected?

    dealwithit replied to NotAllThoseWhoWander's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It has nothing to do with chunks of classes as opposed to the material; moreover, the depth of assessment, critical thinking, and problem solving that is taught in a BSN program far exceeds that of an...

  19. Considering CNA to LPN, advise needed

    dealwithit replied to ehausler4147's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My advice: become a medical technologist / assistant. They work in many clinical settings, have no problem getting a job, and don't have the stigma of "not being an RN" so much as LPN's. The...

  20. Nursing school isn't as terrifying as I expected?

    dealwithit replied to NotAllThoseWhoWander's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It's not very hard because you are in LPN school. Head over to the university and complete a BSN then we'll talk about
